My complete name is William Alistair Blu. I was a human, you have to understand that. Keyword: was. A not-so-average 16 year-old boy with ocean blue eyes and jet-black hair. What made me different from other kids was the fact that I could understand my partner Pokemon, the Legendary Keldeo. Let me explain how we met…
I was about 10 years-old at the time, and my family and I had just moved into a new village near a large and mysterious waterfall. I don't remember much about the village or my family, but I do remember getting lost in the woods one day.
I was playing hide-and-seek with some of the village children when I heard a rustling sound come from the thicket. Curious, I followed the source of the sound, unwittingly heading deeper and deeper into the woods until I saw what was making the sounds. A tiny little Venipede chewing on a large leaf. We locked gazes for a moment, before I reached out a hand to try and pat it. Suddenly, the ground shook slightly, and I heard rustling again before being followed by a weird cry. I turned my head and saw a very mad Scolipede facing me. I stood up, shocked and scared, as the little Venipede crawled back to its mother. The Scolipede glared at me, and from its stance, I could tell it was about to attack. And I did the only think I could think of.
I ran.
I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, and fortunately, I was able to stay ahead of the Scolipede. Unfortunately, I headed towards a dead end. I stood on the cliff beside a raging waterfall and looked back to see the Scolipede. In my fear, I closed my eyes tightly, and jumped into the water, without thinking about what I could get into.
The currents pushed me around and before I knew it, I fell from the top of the waterfall. I grasped for whatever I could find, and I was able to grab hold of a protruding rock from behind the waterfall. With the water against me, I was quickly losing strength. However, I noticed a shadow move behind the waterfall, and as I lost consciousness, I weakly called, "Help… me…"
I never knew what really happened, but I miraculously woke up in some sort of cave, with my heading pounding, and my body aching and numb. I let out a weak groan and heard a scuffle and hooves hitting the stone ground. I slowly opened my eyes to see a weird looking colt with a feathery mane and a horn, which caused me to think it was a unicorn.
"You are awake. Are you feeling well, my friend?" I heard a boyish voice ask. "I can't really say I'm fine… Wh-where am I?" I replied weakly. The Pokemon's eyes widened and it took me a while to realize that I had just understood the young colt. I sat up in surprise, which wasn't a good idea, as my whole body felt worse.
"Ah, you need more rest, my friend." The Pokemon said, nudging my side, "Do not worry, I will stay here until you feel well again. After all, it was my fault…"
"What..ever…you say…" I muttered, swiftly going off to Dreamland. It wasn't until hours later that I woke up. I felt better than earlier yes, but I still had that pounding headache and some parts of my body, specifically the arm I used to hold onto the rock, was still numb. I looked around and saw the colt sleeping not too far off. He really stayed.. I thought to myself. I glanced at the entrance of the cave and only then did I learn that it was already nightfall, and the moon was pretty high up in the sky. I frowned. "My parent's are gonna kill me."
"Hm?" I looked back to see the Pokemon awake, and somewhat drowsy. "Hey there." I smiled. He smiled back and walked up to me. "How are you feeling my friend?" he asked, tilting his head. "I'm feeling better now, thanks."
"That's good."
"By the way… and please don't be offended," I began, "but who or what exactly areyou?"
The blue colt straightened himself and held his head high as he replied, almost proudly, "I am Keldeo, the youngest of the Sacred Swordsmen, and servant to the great Zekrom."
"…You know, I have no idea what you're talking about."
"… Well, I do believe I have time to explain…" That was when I first learned about Zekrom, and other Pokemon, like Cobalion, Virizion, Terrakion and Meloetta. That was also when I agreed to help Keldeo in his quests. From then on, we became the best of friends, but I'll tell you the details when they come up. For now, I'll say only this; I was hit, real hard, by something and the next thing I saw was darkness. It was also the first thing I saw.

A/N: Yes, crappy chapter, I know. And I'm sorry for the VERY VERY VERY late update. You know the usual excuse. Skip to the next chapter then, oh, and try to leave a review down there, if you can. Thanks.
